Chapter 383: Expedition to Trust (Part 2)

In the dark tent, He Yansi and several subordinates were discussing countermeasures urgently. The situation was quite critical. Deputy Governor of Xinde Rajed led 20,000 troops to fight the invading Jiantuo Army, and handed over the important task of defending the grain warehouse to Adudro. However, Adudro had a strange intention to embezzle tax money and then withdraw it. As long as his army left, the millions of stones of grain in the grain warehouse would inevitably be robbed by the locals, and then the Tang army would face the danger of failure in the entry into Xinde.

"The brigade commander, otherwise we will instigate Adudero and let him stay and work hard for the Tang army!" said the sergeant Luo Qi.

He Yansi shook his head, "This person is a typical fence-bearer. If the Tang army did not have time to arrive at Shabro, but Governor Xinde rushed back, he would definitely stand back in his original position. Moreover, this person is difficult to control and it is difficult to understand his true thoughts. I am worried that if we expose our identity, we will be harmed by him."

"How about Sumaluo? I think this person's idea is simpler and easy to control. And he has a good reputation, so other team leaders will buy his account."

He Yansi lowered his head and thought, Su Maluo was good, he could give it a try, but this person was timid and had to think carefully. Everyone discussed for a while and decided to act that night.

The brigade led by Sumaluo was responsible for guarding the treasury. The treasury contained 22 million dina silver coins, which were taxes for Sindh and Punjab for two years. They were originally to be transported to Dashi, but it was delayed due to the Punjab rebellion. In the middle of the night, He Yansi led two subordinates to break into Sumaluo's residence.

"What's the matter? I ran over in the middle of the night and scared me!" Su Maluo was woken up by He Yansi. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and complained.

"Do you want to get rich?"

He Yansi really knew Su Maluo and said his favorites straight away. Su Maluo was excited and immediately disappeared without a trace. He smiled and said, "Why don't I want to get rich? I dreamed of marrying my third wife!"

"You are too boring. I mean you can marry three hundred wives."

Sumalu's eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly thought of something and said quickly: "Wait a minute, you are not talking about the money treasury! That one has no share. Didn't my uncle say it? We can get food, and the money treasury belongs to him."

"No! No, I'm talking about the porcelain and silk of the Tang Dynasty. All the goods from the Tang Dynasty are controlled by you. You will become the largest merchant of Xinde and the richest person in Xinde. Don't you want to?"

"I became the richest man in faith?"

Sumalu murmured, "How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible! As long as you follow my arrangements, you will not only become the richest faith, but also the most powerful Kshatriya in faith."

"You?" Sumaluo looked at He Yansi in surprise. He suddenly asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"I'll tell you the truth! I'm actually the pioneer of Tang Jun."

"Tang Army!"

Su Maluo jumped up in shock and instinctively spoke to shout, but He Yansi covered his mouth, pulled out a dagger and pressed his throat, and lowered his voice: "You dare to shout, I will kill you with one knife."

Su Maluo's eyes showed a look of fear. He nodded obediently. He Yansi took the dagger, let go of his mouth, and smiled and said, "Do you really want to betray me?"

Su Maluo shook his head and said quickly: "Brother, please leave quickly! My uncle hates Tangren deeply. If he finds out, you will die."

"Why?"

"My uncle had a son who went to the Tang Dynasty to do business, but was killed by bandits from the Tang Dynasty and never came back. He vowed to avenge his son."

He Yansi was silent for a moment and said, "I want you to replace your uncle as the commander of the army. Will you do it?"

Sumaluo was so scared that he waved his hand and said repeatedly: "No! No! No! I can't do it, how can I be the commander of the legion? You can find someone else!"

After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave, but He Yansi pressed him down and said to him earnestly: "Brother Sumaluo, I actually give you a chance to make a fortune. The Tang army came with a 50,000 army this time. The Tang army defeated the Dashi more than 100,000 elite army in Talas with a 70,000 army. It is far from comparable to the Xinde army. Xinde's great cannibals, and Tochar was also occupied by the Tang army. In this way, Xinde and Punjab will inevitably fall into the hands of the Tang army, and if you can help the Tang army protect it

If you live in this big grain warehouse, then the reward you will receive will be inferior to that of no one. If you are willing, you can even be the king of faith. If you want money, the Tang army will reward you with countless silks and porcelain, and will also give you a city. Think about it, this is the moment to change your destiny! Many people can't get this opportunity, but now it's in front of you. Because you helped me, I want to repay you and think about your children and wife! Brother Sumaluo."

Sumalu's eyes gradually shone, and he was obviously moved. He also began to realize that this was really an opportunity that was difficult to encounter in a thousand years. He didn't want to be a king, so he wanted to make a fortune and become the biggest rich man in Sindhi.

"But how should I deal with my uncle? He is my uncle!"

"Your uncle doesn't need you to do it. As long as you control the legion and save the food for us, you will succeed."

After stopping, He Yansi asked again: "Then tell me, what is your uncle's biggest weakness?"

After a while, Sumaluo whispered: "Gold and gems, he will die when he sees these two things."

Su Maluo thought of betraying his uncle and felt sad, but also thought of his uncle's stinginess. He had hundreds of wives, but he only had one wife, and he was so ugly. When he thought about it, he felt balanced. Three hundred wives were waiting for him!

He sighed a long sigh and said, "I don't know if I'm doing the biggest stupid thing in my life."

He Yansi patted his shoulder heavily, stared at his slightly ashamed gaze, and said, "No, this is the most correct and smartest thing in your life, and you will get what you want soon."

Adudro was woken up by He Yansi in the middle of the night, and he said impatiently: "What's the matter!"

"Legislative Commander, my men found this in a warehouse."

He Yansi handed him a heavy bag. Adudro opened the bag and his eyes suddenly widened. There were more than a dozen yellow gold and high-quality gems inside.

His voice trembled with excitement, "Is there any?"

"There are still quite a few more! I just took a few pieces."

Greed blinded Aduatero's vigilance and seriously reduced his IQ. He hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "Take me to take a look."

"Legion Commander, don't have too many people, so you can't disclose the news."

"I know, take me there."

Adudro only brought five subordinates and followed He Yansi to the warehouse he guarded.

"How many people there know?"

"There are not many, only three or four people."

"Tell them not to speak, I will give you one."

"Yes! We know."

He Yansi brought Adudro to the front of the warehouse. There were only a few of his scouts guarding the warehouse gate. He Yansi winked at them, and several Tang soldiers opened the door.

"Legislature Commander, please come in! Just inside, there are a lot of gold and gems."

Seeing that it was pitch black inside, Adudro was a little hesitant, but when he heard a lot of gold and gems, all his worries were swept away. He stepped into the warehouse impatiently.

The warehouse was very large, filled with bags of grain. Adudro lighted a torch and walked through the winding piles of grain. He Yansi led the way in front, "Legislative Commander, be careful, be right in front."

Before he knew it, he and his five subordinates followed He Yansi to the depths, and the gate had been quietly closed. At this time, He Yansi pointed to a dark place in front of him, "Look! It's there, it's all gold and gems."

Adudro's heart was so excited that he almost jumped out. He saw a little starlight in the darkness. Mountains of gold bars and gems appeared in front of him. This might be the treasure buried here by the King of Germany a hundred years ago. His eyes flashed with a greedy light under the reflection of the fire, and walked forward step by step. The darkness retreated little by little under the reflection of the torch.

Adudro suddenly stopped and he was stunned. The darkness had disappeared. There was no gold and gem in front of him, but a man, a soldier with a cruel smile on his face. He was holding something like a bow and arrow in his hand, and the arrow pointed at his forehead. The starlight just now was the arrow shining.

Adudro was so shocked that he loosened his hand. The torch fell from his hand. But the moment the torch had not landed, the crossbow arrow shot out like lightning, hitting his face directly. A scream echoed in the warehouse for a long time, followed by five screams, and the warehouse immediately became as quiet as death.

The next morning, Sumaro summoned everyone. He held Adudro's military talisman and told everyone that his uncle had gone to Punjab to report to the governor. Now the army is temporarily under his command. The military discipline of the Sindh servants has always been scattered. Although there is no personal report from Adudro, the captains did not take it seriously. They never dreamed that the commander of the legion had been killed. In addition, Sumaro had a good reputation and was far more generous than his stingy uncle, so everyone expressed their willingness to obey Sumaro's command.

He Yansi took the risk successfully, and he immediately sent someone to report to Li Qing'an that Xinde's large grain warehouse had fallen into their hands and asked Tang Jun to come and take over it quickly.

The Tang army and Jiantuo's army were unstoppable and did not encounter any effective resistance. It advanced to the city of Dolangas in the middle of Xinde in just three days.

The city of Dolangas is also a strategically significant city. It is located on the west bank of Xindu River and has a large population. It is the most fertile area of ​​Xinde land. It produces grain and cotton. There is also a huge granary in the city of Dolangas, with more than 2 million stones of grain stored and cotton cloth piled up like mountains. The city of Dolangas itself was guarded by nearly 20,000 people. Just the day before the arrival of the Tang army, 20,000 reinforcements from Sabrou also arrived at the city of Dolangas.

In the early morning, more than 20,000 vanguards of Jiantuluo had arrived on the plain about ten miles away from the city of Dolangas, and Deputy Governor of Xinde was born.

Rajed decided to go out of the city to fight, and he led an army of 40,000 to set up a formation on the vast plain.

Among the 40,000 troops, there were 5,000 Great-Fish Khurasan cavalry, and the remaining 35,000 were the Xinde Servants Army, but there were 20,000 Elephants, which was the most powerful army in the Xinde army. Five thousand large elephants were wearing armor, one had four soldiers on the back, one was driving the elephant, two archers, and one spearheader.

The sound of sob horns sounded in the fields, and the five thousand great food cavalry slowly stopped their horses. Rajid looked into the Tang army camp, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes. Rajid participated in the Battle of Talas and fled back to Khorasan with Muslims. He still remembered the powerful combat power of the Tang army, especially the last earth-shaking explosion of the Tang army, which still woke him up from his dreams. Now the Tang army has begun to attack Xinde, which makes him full of concerns about the future of Xinde. Will the Great Food forces be driven out of Xinde and Punjab by the Tang people like in the river?

Rajid was not optimistic about the Sindhi Servant Army. He knew the cowardice of the Sindhi people and their disorderly military discipline. The Umayyad dynasty defeated the 60,000 Sindhi army with only 5,000 cavalry. Can they still compete with the Tang army?
